    What does "Adjacent" really mean?

    You can. And in 4e too. There is no problem here, move right along...

    Were wizards more secondary stat based in the playtest?

    I dunno, the DDEXP Wizard is the only pre-gen we've seen who's actually minimaxed. 20 Int FTW! ;) TBH most of the builds contain pretty naff suggestions, I would never use any of them as written.

    Lets "fix" the Keep pregens!

    Unsurprisingly, I agree with 99% of this post, but I do like dwarven tanks because of Stand Your Ground. :cool: Oh and on a tangent, but just because it can't be said enough: Tieflings need some errata to be viable at all, because their racial powers don't hold a candle to anyone else's, and...

    Lets "fix" the Keep pregens!

    I've read this argument before and I still don't understand it. Yes, many classes have powers evenly divided between 2 stats. But why on earth would you want to take powers from both branches? You can play, say, a Battle Cleric straight down the line, taking only the Str based powers (and maybe...

    Lets "fix" the Keep pregens!

    Correct, grasshopper. Wha? Did you suddenly forget everything you just learned? Back to the monastery for you. A few years more of scrubbing floors, I think. ;) Seriously, the mathematically optimal build for any class is always to focus on powers that use your main stat and push that to 20...

    Greatsword is dead!

    Of course it does, as long as he has the proficiency. Say hello to my Dragonborn melee ranger. With the right powers and feats, he's the closest thing to a martial controller you'll find. :cool:

    Greatsword is dead!

    Going strictly by the wordings in the PH, I would say yes. I mean, there's no place it explicitly says "A versatile weapon wielded two handed counts as a two handed weapon for every other rule where it matters," but there's absolutely nothing to hint at the opposite either.

    The pendulum swings back: Humans suck once again

    Yes of course. Why do you think I'm disagreeing with you? Oh, maybe you think my comment about "pwnage" means that I consider Humans to always be superior to every other race? No, that's not how I meant it. I just mean that whatever class you want to play, Human is always one of the best...

    Really, No PC Gnomes! Stop Asking!

    Funnily enough, I would argue that it matters even more now. ;)

    The pendulum swings back: Humans suck once again

    To get back to the racial discussion... Quite to the contrary of the OP, I'm a little concerned that humans are a little too good. Or perhaps more accurately, that for someone who understands the math of the system, the number of race-class combinations that make sense are rather limited. Let...

    The pendulum swings back: Humans suck once again

    Well, yes and no. A warlock has to take Eldritch Blast and their pact's at-will. Free choice of powers is only for everything else (encounter, daily, utility). What that means is that humans are the only warlocks that can take another pact's at-will. In fact, they have to. ;) P.S.: oh and BTW...

    I also have the books [merged] (info on upcomming Power sources and more)

    No and Yes. (And if you have trouble parsing that it's because of the way you phrased your question. ;) ) However... some powers get noticeably better if you have the corresponding pact.

    I also have the books [merged] (info on upcomming Power sources and more)

    But is there a ceiling? I.e. can you ever max out a stat?

    Humans as monsters - many varieties needed

    Not to mention: Slovenly trulls Brazen strumpets Cheap trollops Typical streetwalkers Wanton wenches Haughty courtesans Aged madams Wealthy procuresses (sp?) Sly pimps Rich panderers

    A few comments from a playtester

    Thankfully, someone else in that thread hinted that there is an ignore option on those boards. After reading only 2 threads in that section, I'm already ignoring 3 people... :cool:

    The rocky experience of a KotS test run (spoilers)

    I predict that a strict application of this rule for all powers will lead to the following player behaviour: After an encounter the party will apply any remaining uses of Healing Word or Inspiring Word, then rest 5 minutes, use those powers again, rest another 5 minutes etc. Nobody will want to...
